Let It Be

Some people bring you gifts 
Some bring you bricks to weigh you down 
So they can swim a little higher while you drown 
Some people mean so well 
Their way was the best way that they found 
But any other way you choose is a brick that weighs you down 

So tell me what do I do with this backpack full of bricks 
Of sticks and stones and words that stuck to me like ticks 

Let it go, let it be, brick by brick we can be free 
Of all the words we saved till we were our own enemies 
Let it go, let it be, brick by brick we can believe 
In the person God intended us to be 
Let it be 

Some people give themselves a brick 
I know most people do 
When we compare we fall short somewhere 
It's always true 
If all we see is where we fall we've bricked a prison wall 
Instead of trying to learn to fly we've taught ourselves to Crawl 

We could believe in ourselves more
we could try for unique Instead of trying to conform 
We could defy what they tell us don't buy the lies they sell us 
If we're brave we can believe in what we are
